MY PERSONAL REVIEW |
|
|
He performed a septoplasty and rhinoplasty on me. He completely failed to straighten a virgin septum leaving spurs that inhibited breathing. While he purported to address the valve problem, there is no evidence that he even attempted a repair according to prominent board certified ENT's who checked his work after surgery. He ruined the aesthetics of my nose, and did things that were never authorized, resulting in my needing a more risky secondary procedure with cartilage grafting that would have been completely unnecessary if he had even done an average job. There is more, and none of it is good. Wood-Smith is very gracious before you pay him, and very cynical and condescending after the procedure. Don't believe anything his office tells you. They also failed to pre-certify my procedure with my insurance company resulting in failure to get total reimbursement for the medical portion. Wood Smith took no responsibility for this, and thus far has taken no responsibility for the shoddy work. He offered to fix the septum and said it would take 30 minutes under mac. How interesting. I've consulted with the most prominent nose surgeons who tell me the procedure would take many hours to do correctly. As an accommodation to all who consider this man, I will be happy to share my awful experience with this surgeon and with this man, and i would strongly advise you to steer clear. |
